Space and scientific instrumentation

To better understand humanity’s place in the universe, hunt for exoplanets and search for extraterrestrial life, researchers use advanced high-tech instrumentation. For decades, TNO has developed these instruments. A technological heritage that now places us at the forefront of optical satellite communication and a space-enabled quantum internet, that will provide secure broadband connectivity across the world.

Pioneering space innovation

From pioneering climate research and satellites for observation systems to non-invasive medical research, chip manufacturing and satellite communications.
